ONE WIFE rs ENOUGH
President Joseph Smith, at Conference
Of Latter Day Saints, Creates
Sensation
By Making in a Sermon an Emphatic
Declaration Against the Philoso-
ply of Polygamy,
Citing Three Bible Instances to Show
That God Intended One Wife
for Each Man.
The Sermon Followed by Public
Marriage. Together With
Public Baptism.

CLEVELAND, o., April 1O.-There was
a large attendance of outsiders at the con-
ference of Latter-Day Saints in Kirkland
to-day, the attraction being the sermon by
President Joseph Smith against the Nor
mon doctrine of polygamy Mr.. Smith
began his sermon by the emphatic declara-
tion: 81 have no belief in this philosophy
OF polygamy. l am identified with peo-
pie, many of whom have gone over with
the extremists and cast their lot with the
advocates of plural marriages. I desire to
state publicly that I am not of their num-
Der. l need make no personal onslaught
on those who accept the pOlygamous clause
in the Mormon religion, nor shall l. We
ought to take it for granted that God knew
what he was about when he created the
world. When the earth was ready for
man. God placed Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden. If he had intended two
wives for Adam he would have given them
to him. When Adam and Eye were Joined
together they were immortal, and the mar
riage was celestial. Now there came a
time when it was necessary to begin popu-
latlng the earth over again. Men and
women had sinned, and God wished to
crush WlckedneSs out of the world. If he
had
MADE A MISTAKE
at the creation in giving but one wife, here
was grand opportunity to reverse things
and give Noah two wives. Did God do so?
No! He commanded Noah to take one
wife and his servants one wife. Donotice,
my brethren, believe that God is wise enough
to have improved that opportunity to rec
tify any error in Judgment in parceling out
to man but one helpmeet, but God had an
other opportunity to correct the mistake. if
one had been made, when He led Levi and
his wife out of the land of Judea. If God
had desired to reverse His judgment in Civ
ing Noah but single wife, he could have
put Himself right, but He does not do it. I
take these three great events as proof posi-
tive, unanswerable and overwhelming that
God intended man to have but one wife,
The speaker went on to say that the Latter
Day Saints stood committed to the doctrine
of single marriages. Further proof of the
error of polygamy. he said. was found in
the twenty-thlrd and twenty-fourth verses
of the second chapter of Genesis. There
was afterward a public marriage, Sister
Mary Goodin, of Pittsburg. being joined to
Brother John w. Lake, Of Canada. There
was lso public baptism. Tomorrow VIII

TO SUPPRESS PLEURO.
CoIman Wants Some
More Cattle Legislation.


More Cattle Legislation.
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The following
is copy of letter sent to the governor of
New York:
Sir: have the honor to enclose herewith
for your consideration copy of an act of
congress, approved May 29, 1884, esta blish-
ling the bureau of animal industry nd of the
appropriation made by the last congress for
carrying out its provisions together with a
copy of q proposed bill TO be enacted by
state legislatures for cooperating with the
bureau of animal industry for suppressing
and extirpatiug contagious diseases. 1t is
important that the legislation of the several
states for the suppression of pleuro-pneumo-
mia should be as nearly uniform as possible,
and, as this proposed bill has been
passed by the legislature of the state
OF Virginia exactly as submitted to you, and
its provisions are similar to law of Michigan
of June 10, 1875. 1t might receive the favora-
Bile attention of your legislature. You are,
no doubt, aware that contagious pleuro-pneu-
monia is now prevalent in certain sections of
the state of New York, more particularly in
the county of Washington, cities of New
York and Brooklyn and on Long Island, and
that adjoining states have quarantined against
cattle from New York state. This depart
rnent is desirous Of stamping out the disease
promptly, and if this bill or a similar one were
passed by the legislature of New York state
purpose, and would probably prove the most
efficient form of cooperation. Very respect
fully, NORMAN CoLMAN,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Letters of like purpOrt, varied only ac-
cording to the circumstances in the several
states, have been sent to the governors of
states whose legislatures are now in ses-
sion-these are New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania-where pleuro-pneumonia existed
and against whose cattle quarantine has
been established in other states; Delaware,
where the disorder has existed but has been
eradicated, and Wisconsin. where it has not
yet been introduced. The proposed bill
authorizes the governor to accept in behalf
of the state the rules and regulations of the
commissioner of agriculture. 1t confers
upon the inspectors of the bureau of animal
industry the right of inspection. quarantine
and condemnation, and authorizes them to
call upon sheriffs. cUnstables and peace Off
GERS for assistance. 1t provides that all ex-
penses shall be borne by the United States.
